Kavalan Peaty Cask Small Batch

This is another dram from our Malt Mongers Israel evening where we tried a range of whiskies bottled exclusively for Le Maison Du Whisky (LMDW) in France. This is a Kavalan from Taiwan which has been matured in casks which previously held heavily peated Islay whisky.

This was very interesting stuff. I’ve tried several peated cask whiskies before and have never felt the peat as pronounced as I did with this one. It adds quite nicely to the Kavalan character resulting in a subtle smoky character. The only downside here is the price.
